The girl was attacked multiple times inside the homes of the men

Members of a migrant grooming gang have been arrested in Finland after repeatedly raping a ten-year-old girl, according to local media reports.

Suspects of the gang, comprised of migrants and asylum seekers aged between 20 to 40 years old, allegedly groomed their victim on social media before carrying out the horrific assault in her home city of Oulu.

The girl was attacked multiple times inside the homes of the men, who came to Finland as migrants or refugees.

"For young people, meeting a foreign-heritage man can happen spontaneously, for example during a party," Markus Kiiskinen of Oulu Police told Ilta-Sanomat.

“Someone could offer them something ‘nice,’ like tobacco or alcohol, which can start a nasty chain of events.”
